Although Han Xian escaped, Dong Cheng quickly took over Han Xian's army and further strengthened his own strength.
At the same time, Guo Ming also prepared the tributes to meet the emperor and asked people to prepare a table of delicious dishes with prepared dishes.
Cao Hong asked with some confusion: "Sir, why do we still need to prepare these meals? It seems that we don't need these things to meet the emperor."
"You don't understand this. The locust plague is serious now. You have seen it since we entered the city. There are refugees and people everywhere. What do they eat? Bark and roots, weeds and mice. The emperor can only drink Order some rice porridge to barely feed yourself."
"Then the food of our army is better than that of the emperor." Cao Hong said with a smile.
"Isn't that right? Look at the entire city of Luoyang, which is full of ruins and devastation. But it is so desolate, but there are not many rats. Why, because they have all been eaten by people. Of course, this may also be the case. It’s the only common meat in the emperor’s life.”
Cao Hong looked at the dilapidated Luoyang City in front of him, looking at the imperial city filled with broken walls and ruins, and said with emotion: "I think back then, when I first came to Luoyang City, I looked at the dazzling array of things around me. The goods and the magnificent buildings are really enviable. But now, they are all gone."
The two walked for a long time in the ruins of Luoyang City, because the palace had long been burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo and turned into ruins. Finally, they found a guide with a piece of sesame seed cake, and then they found Yang Andian.
Looking at the ruins around him, Cao Hong couldn't help but sigh: "The place where the emperor lives is not as good as the hut at home."
As soon as he said this, Guo Ming couldn't help laughing, but he still told Cao Hong with a serious face: "You can stop saying this when you meet the emperor later. You must pay attention to the etiquette."
"Do not worry."
Following the eunuch's announcement, the two of them walked into Yang An's Palace with their heads held high and glanced at the sallow and thin ministers.
The ministers all lowered their heads when they saw the murderous eyes of the two men.
Guo Ming looked at him sitting on the broken dragon chair. Although his face was sallow, he still had the air of a superior person.
"My lord, Guo Ming, Cao Cao's subordinate in Yanzhou, pays homage to your majesty."
"Your Excellency, Cao Hong, Cao Cao's subordinate in Yanzhou, pays homage to your Majesty."
Guo Ming knelt down and said.
"You two dear friends, please get back together quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After that, Guo Ming asked people to display the tributes one by one, but there was not much joy in Emperor Xian of Han's eyes.
But when the food prepared by Guo Ming arrived, Guo Ming clearly saw the shining eyes of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and his stomach began to feel uncontrollable.
As the aroma of the food filled the entire Yang Andian Hall, all the ministers were attracted to it one after another. Some ministers even drooled directly, completely unaware of their own gaffe.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty suppressed his greed and asked: "My dearest ladies, what do these meals mean?"
"Your Majesty, after the two ministers entered Luoyang City, they learned that the fields were severely damaged and there was a shortage of food. They also knew that Your Majesty had been hungry for a long time, so they specially prepared these meals to fulfill the wishes of the ministers." Guo Ming said respectfully.
Seeing Guo Ming's appearance, even Cao Hong couldn't help but secretly praise Guo Ming's acting skills.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this. He slapped me and praised me: "This is a loyal minister!"
Guo Ming also delivered the food to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ate it hungrily, regardless of his own manners.
"My servants, what are you still doing? Eat."
As soon as Guo Ming finished speaking, some ministers pounced on him like hungry wolves, some even fell down, and some ministers who were still reserved did not hold back and pounced directly on him.
Cao Hong looked at the appearance of these people and couldn't help but whisper in Guo Ming's ear: "Sir, these guys are really hungry and reincarnated."
"Who says it isn't?"
After everyone had had enough wine and food, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted to take a good rest, so he asked Guo Ming and his two men to station their troops in the city and wait for the next interview.
After Guo Ming and others retreated, Cao Hong also asked in confusion: "Sir, why don't we take the emperor to Yanzhou?"
"Don't worry, the Lord's order has not yet arrived, how can we act without authorization?"
Therefore, Guo Ming and his two men first settled in Luoyang City, and Cao Cao's letter was delivered to Guo Ming within the agreed time.
Seeing that Cao Cao agreed to his plan, Guo Ming began to make preparations.
When he met Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty the next day, Guo Ming proposed to ask Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to temporarily move the capital to Xu County.
"What do you mean by your love?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked everyone. He was not in a hurry to make a decision.
Dong Cheng was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the ancestral temple and mausoleum of the late emperor are in Luoyang, how can you abandon your ancestors? This is an act of disloyalty and filial piety. Furthermore, your Majesty has worked hard many times, how can he be subjected to the hardship of traveling again? bitter."
As Dong Cheng finished speaking, the others also joined in with him.
Guo Ming began to explain: "Your Majesty, the city of Luoyang today has been devastated by war. It is desolate and barren of grass. Moreover, the locust plague is serious and the capital is short of food. I just want to ask the Holy Master to temporarily move to Luyang. Because Luyang It is very close to Xu County, so it is easier to transport food, so there is no need to worry about serious food shortages, and your Majesty will no longer suffer from hunger."
Everyone started discussing, and the final result was that they decided to follow Guo Ming's suggestion. After all, they would really starve to death if they stayed here.
After coming out of Yang Andian, Cao Hong also approached Guo Ming and asked: "Sir, there is Yang Feng in Liang County. The combat effectiveness of his army should not be underestimated. If we act under his nose, he will definitely not agree. .”
Guo Ming smiled and said: "General, there is no need to worry. I have already sent someone to send him some gold and silver jewelry, and I praised him very much."
"Is it that simple? What if this guy breaks the agreement and suddenly attacks us?" Cao Hong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, this guy Yang Feng is brave and foolhardy, and he keeps his word very well. Moreover, he is still on guard against this guy Han Xian, and he doesn't have that much energy to take care of us."
At the same time, Han Xian was also trying hard to persuade Yang Feng to attack Cao's army and recapture the emperor, otherwise he would definitely destroy himself in the future.
But Yang Feng did not listen and said nonchalantly: "Brother, you are worrying too much this time."
Han Xian walked out of the house in a daze, looked at the blue sky and said faintly: "We will be killed by Cao Jun!"
